Extended Data Fig. 1: Population dynamics of giant panda under optimal conditions.
From: Spatial models of giant pandas under current and future conditions reveal extinction risks
Different initial age structures (youth majority structure, adult majority structure, old majority structure and the stable age structure) are used to simulate population trends for 100 years. There is a dramatic decline for the old majority structure. Regardless of the initial age structure, the population will grow slowly and steadily when the age structure becomes stable in the long run.
